I hear this one all the time. Why feel this need to make ANY of Genesis
accurate? Why the need to redefine what a day is just so you can continue to
"believe every word"?

What about the nutty idea of just saying it's not seven days and never was
seven days and "days" doesn't stand for anything else?

Why is it that the fundamentalist Puritan types who insist every word of the
Bible is sacred intimidate others into believing the same BS along with
them? It's like insisting that all people who ever touched the Bible, edited
the Bible, and translated the Bible can be trusted.

Who among men is dumb enough to trust everyone and anyone?

The sheep who get eaten by the wolves, that's who.

Meanwhile, in red letters, out of Christ's mouth, during the Sermon on the
Mount, come the words: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
This is the sum of the law."

If you know this one thing, you don't even need a Bible.

If Christ was here, he'd hold a Bible burning party.
